Nice composition. To my eyes, it is a bit too much on the blue side?

Very nice and I thought it was an image from Batmura! Yes, it is very blue and cold but I like the glow on the foreground rocks. The orange hues on the horizon is the last light before the cold sweeps in for a long night - well, this is what this image evokes for me.

thanks.  yeah, it's def on the cool side.

you can see a little snow in here.  i've got a similar image panned over a couple feet and there is a bunch of snow on the ground.  it was very cold out there!

A very striking image, that I think works well with the reflected blues of the sky on the rocks in contrast to the brilliant, hot sunset colors.

Really well done. Though I wonder a bit why the sky has two bright regions.

I'm sure a N.D. filter was used on the sky which will cause that effect.  ::)

Nice image; I like the color contrast.  I'd be tempted to clone out the two clouds.  They draw my eye but there's not much there to take in.

no ND... just a wide 14mm shot.
